WATCH: Sagui Dekel-Chen, a released hostage, reunites with his family

The Prime Minister's Office has released photos showing the reuniting of hostage Sagui Dekel-Chen with his family, and accompanied by his wife Avital, today (Saturday) after being released from Hamas captivity.

Here is the footage (Source: Prime Minister's Office):

President Isaach Herzog welcomed Dekel-Chen and the other released hostages with the following statement:

"Sagui, who holds Israeli and American citizenship, has yet to meet his daughter who was born after he was kidnapped. His wife, Avital, was 8 months pregnant with Shachar Mazal as she escaped to the safe-room with their two young daughters in their home on Kibbutz Nir Oz.

Israeli and Russian citizen, Sasha spent two birthdays in captivity in Gaza. His father was murdered, his mother, grandmother, and girlfriend were kidnapped and released in the previous deal.

Yair, an Israeli with Argentinian citizenship, an avid soccer fan, and a beloved member of his community, returns while his younger brother Eitan is still held in captivity.

These are not horror movie scripts — this is the reality of innocent civilians abducted by Hamas terrorists, and now being freed after 498 days in the tunnels and dungeons of Gaza.

Sagui, Sasha, Iair — we have waited for you so long! After the despicable and cynical ceremony you were forced to endure, we are happy that you are now being reunited with your families.

Completing a hostage deal is a human, moral, and Jewish imperative. We will continue to do everything in our power to bring back all our sisters and brothers from captivity in Gaza — until the last one returns!"
